Traces of these surnames can be found, for example, in Trieste in the second half of the 1300s with the noble house of Petazzi, in the Istrian Diplomatic Code we read that on 3 October 1381 the Municipality of Trieste sent the patricians Nicolò Cigotto and Adelmo Petazzi to Venice to ratify the peace treaty of Turin, with which Trieste is emancipated from Venice and Aquileja.
